A nice recap!

I'm glad someone knows about me and he sent me a pm.

Hi Vincent,

It's Phil here, if you remember, I sent you a PM asking you if you were Vincent Mah.

Anyway, I've been in this forum for a long time, and so have you. I've always seen you posting, and I've also seen and spoken to you in Maestro Guitars. I bought lots of Lyric HG from you guys.

But, I've never reconciled the Maestro Vincent with Gr3y, until recently.

Anyway, I checked out your website and everything, very impressive. I remember reading and replying in the thread whereby you first started out cutting pickguards. And since then when people ask about customing pickguards, we'll always refer them to Gr3y. Haha, but nowadays I'm hardly active in the SOFT forums anymore. It's just different now, but that's another story altogether.

Anyway, nice to meet you. And, guess what. I'm working for Maestro now, just ORDed not long ago, and while waiting for Uni to start, I got a part time job doing retail. Too bad you've left, it'd have been fun.

Lastly, I'm considering getting you to do some jobs for my guitars! There's just so many ideas, I loved the inlay you did. That could work out great on my guitar. And the respraying of the pedal as well, that's good news. I've a CMATmods Deeelay that I love to death but it looks plain ugly with the matted silver coating.
And the Tree of Life is tempting as well, I've Prestige 1570 that might need some sprucing up.
So tempting, eh.

Well, have fun with whatever you're doing now, and congrats on the album launch!

regards,
Phil

Lion Attack!

Nope it's not another horror scene you'll read on newspaper. Recently i did a nice little modification for someone who have trouble with his floating bridge. The new bridge he fixed on can't do an up wham because of the routed area not big enough. So instead of expanding that routed area, he got me to do a lion claw on it. Lion claw design was originally from Ibanez Jem designed by well known guitarist Steve Vai.




This is how it looks like on a typical Ibanez Jem. Oh yes, that's something i'm working on and you should watch on if you like Ibanez guitars.
